Founded in 1942, Bombardier is the world’s leading manufacturer of innovative aviation products for the business, commercial and specialized aircraft markets. It also offers aerostructures, technical services, aircraft maintenance and pilot training.

Bombardier is headquartered in Montréal, Canada. Its shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (BBD) and it posted revenues of $16.2 billion in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Its three aerospace business segments employ approximately 29,400 people across 13 production and engineering sites, and an international network of service centres, parts depots and training centres.

Bombardier Business Aircraft designs and manufactures innovative, industry-leading business jets that represent the world’s most comprehensive business aircraft offering. Bombardier’s Global*, Challenger* and Learjet*, aircraft families are designed to create an exceptional customer experience, while its Specialized Aircraft division offers a wide range of business and commercial aircraft platforms for special missions. The company’s award-winning service centre network ensures round-the-clock world-class support.

Bombardier Commercial Aircraft offers a complete range of products optimized for best-in-class efficiency with the highest level of customer service. Its portfolio includes the Q400* turboprop, the CRJ Series* family of regional jets and the C Series* airliners – the world’s newest and most advanced single-aisle aircraft for the 100- to 150-seat market segment. The C Series program is operated by CSALP, a joint venture in which Airbus will become a majority stake partner. The combination of Airbus’ global scale, strong customer network, and operational expertise with the C Series state-of-the-art technology should more than double the value of the program.
